TASTING NOTE: This showcases complexity, succulent flavours, persistent purity of fruit, well-integrated oak, deft balance and satin-smooth texture throughout. Piquant spice aromas mingle with dark berry fruit and pencil shavings on the nose of this full-bodied, full-fruited malbec. It coats the palate with flavours of spice-laden, ripe dark Bing cherry, black currant and juicy tang. It finishes in a blaze of red crunchy fruit--currant and cherry--deftly balanced with the dark fruit of palate replays. Score - 94 (Vic Harradine, winecurrent.com, Dec. 4, 2017) |
